Issues with Google Drive
Added 2020-07-24 04:57:11 +0000 UTCHi everybody!
I've heard from a couple of you that Google Drive isn't playing some of the videos with the reason being 'number of allowed views has been exceeded'. I wasn't aware that Google Drive had a limit on views (!) so I will do more research and see if there's anything I can do or if I have to find a new storage solution. :-( I'm sorry about the difficulty!
If you encounter this issue, one workaround is to download the videos to your hard drive to watch them. That's actually the intended way to do it, since in theory you'd be syncing up your own copy of the episode to watch along with the reaction. (The obstructed PIP is really meant to be a guide to sync up.)
Another way to go is if you have a Google account yourself, and if you have the room on your own drive, you can save the file to your Google drive and watch from there.
If you want to comment below on which files you're having the issue with, please feel free. I'm testing out some of the files and so far Google is letting me play the videos, so I'd love to check out the ones that aren't working for people.
Thanks so much for letting me know - working on a solution! :-) π

No, no. I meant, with the problem solved, you have no "calls" from me to return. Best. Leo.

Signing in again seems to have solved the problem. Don't know if this will help any of your other patrons. Thanks for your efforts. Best. Leo.

2020-07-24 17:53:46 +0000 UTCI'm hoping you can take me off your call sheet. Even though not prompted to do so, when I got the views exceeded message (on my Amazon fire stick 4K TV), I used the sign-in option. I've never had to do this before; the site seems to remember me automatically. After manually signing in I was back up and running. I'm going to try again this morning to see if it's still holding. Thanks for your efforts. Best. Leo.
